Should vehicle being towed backward have extra lights or flashers

Yesterday we were approaching Hwy 231 on Hwy 82 and watched carefully as we came up on a truck that appeared to be on the wrong side. We had time to slow down and determine it was being towed backwards.

However, if we were on a four-lane and pulled out to pass someone who had been blocking our view, we might react violently to seeing a vehicle that appeared to be coming straight at us. If it was real, you would have very little time to react, so should these type of towing jobs have flashing, emergency lights rather than just temporary break lights?

It would still make my heart beat faster, but I may be able to quickly KNOW that it was not a head-on about to happen.
